UK Power Reserve

UK Power Reserve has a market leading and growing portfolio of flexible electricity assets. With a total portfolio of 823MW, the company is the UK’s largest independent developer of fast-ramping small-scale gas power plants and the second biggest independent developer of battery storage assets with 120MW of capacity in its development portfolio. Its current portfolio of 40 power plants – of which half are going to be completed in the next few years.

The Project – Beaufort Road, Birkenhead

UKPR started building its Merseyside project in January 2017, using their own staff and a number of contractors. They chose this location to make best use of the land.

Working together it is expected to take six months to complete. The plant is creating local employment opportunities and helping to meet the local community’s peak electricity demand. The 20MW of gas reciprocating engines will help National Grid and commercial partners balance their critical electricity supply and demand requirements.

RESULTS

Why did UK Power Reserve use time lapse and how was their experience with Time Lapse UK?

We spoke with Olivia Tunnell from UK Power Reserve:

“We wanted to capture how quickly our fast gas reciprocating engines can be built. Unlike traditional power plants, our sites can be constructed in as little at 6 months. This has wide ranging benefits to the UK’s energy supply and cost to consumers.

The services offered by Time Lapse UK allows us to illustrate our impressive project delivery skills to a busy audience. Our partnership with Time Lapse UK has been enjoyable and hugely successful and we are looking forward to seeing the completed footage of the build.”
